COMPOSITION OF MATTER I-OR ARTIFICIAL STONE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 770,557, dated September 20, 1904. 7 Application filed A pri118, 1904. Serial No. 203,764. (No specimens.)

5 anew and useful Improvement in Compositions of Matter for Artificial Stone, of which the following is a specification. e, My composition consists of the following I fiiingredients combined in the proportion 1 statedviz. cimlers or sla referably viti fi led lground and graded E one-fourth inch o r ess 1n size, thirty-five pounds; ne and fifteen pounds; barites,!barium sulfate, lpow- I dered, one-half poun emen two pounds;

' -I5 slaked llme calcium ox] iree pounds;

- r su men to ma e nck slush..-

. 1 I 1e ingredients are to be thoroughly mingled in a pug-mill and reduced with sufiicient ..water to form a thick slush, then molded into the desired forms and permitted to set or j harden.

By the use of the above composition of matter the cinders, s a,nd, and v ites form a very dense base, owing to their par icles being graduated to different respective sizes,

which are bound intimately together by the action of the cement, lime, and water. The resultant mass being substantially non-porous and impervious to moisture is consequently very durable when exposed to the action of the elements. I

Stone prepared in this manner is suitable for use in the construction of foundations or superstructures of buildings, bridge abutments or piers, and for other structural or ornamental purposes.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

1. The herein -described composition of matter consisting of cinders, sand, barites, cement, lime and watmstafitially as desci-feed m for the pu pose specified.

2. The herein-described composition of matter for artificial stone, consisting of cinders thirty-five pounds, sand fifteen pounds, barites one-half pound, cement two pounds, lime three pounds, and water suflicient to make a thick slush, substantially as described.
